Inter Milan and AC Milan have had several aspects in common this season ahead of the Derby clash, including a knack for scoring early goals.
The two crosstown rivals are leading the Serie A standings with perfect records after the first three rounds of the season.
Both Italian giants managed to comfortably breeze past all opposition thus far. Following the international break, they will clash heads at the San Siro on September 16.
Although it’s still early days in the season, the two clubs’ remarkable start will make this one particularly intriguing.
According to Tuttosport via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri share another aspect, aside from the points tally.
The stats reveal how the two clubs have always managed to place themselves in the lead in all of their contests thus far.
For instance, Inter always managed to break the deadlock in the first half hour of play. Their latest opener came courtesy of Marcus Thuram in the 23rd minute against Fiorentina.
Inter Milan And AC Milan Have Both Been Able To Constantly Score In The Opening Half Hour
On the other hand, Milan were also able to score within the first 30 minutes in two of their three matches. On the third occasion, Christian Pulisic opened the scoring against Torino in the 33rd minute, thus slightly skipping the half-hour mark.
Moreover, the source explains how the two managers Simone Inzaghi and Stefano Pioli now have more choices at their disposal.
This allows the two tacticians to bring in fresh legs in the second half without jeopardizing the quality or their teams’ ability to poach additional goals.
